The most tiring day as my flight is at 5:45AM....We chartered a taxi to the airport at 2AM..on the way to airport, heavy rain and thunder storm..aiz...worry how the plane can fly off safely with this kind of bad weather...Around 5 something, we are allowed to board in the plane...this is the first time i walk to the plane ... haha...it is fun as i can manage to see a plane quite near to me..haha...but too bad is raining so we need to take an umbrella provided by Air Asia.
Around 10AM, through the window...i can see guangzhou on the sky..so nice..haha..it like a concrete jungle...The plane touch down very smoothly..praise the pilot..haha =)The New airport is really big and clean... One thing i like is the China custom officer is very strict but they are friendly. Before we landed on GZ, the air steward announce that the local temperature is 23 Celcius...we all like so excited as the weather is so nice...but when the plane is running on the runway...i saw those worker is wearing a normal shirt without any jacket and the weather outside is sunny...When we manange to walk ouside the airport...GOSH !! The weather is exactly same as Malaysia...So Hot..aiz...normally this time GZ is autumm season but it seems that they will have a late autumm today..arghhh wasted.....We took an airport Coach to the GZ City then we took Metro to our hotel as our hotel is near to a Metro Station...so convenient..haha...praise myself for getting such a nice and convenient hotel..muahaha !!
After checking in the hotel, we have a rest inside the room. Then we proceed to our lunch and first destination - Shang Xia Jiu Pedestrian Street. We mange to find a small shop selling local delicacies...the food is really delicious and is cheap too...The street is full of their people as that day is sunday, everyone went out for shopping at the street...abit of culture shock as i wont see such a huge population in M'sia...haha... This is my most favourite street in GZ..this is the place where i harvest alot of bag and clothing..haha... After shopping, we went bck to our hotel to have a nice bath before heading to our dinner and Pearl River Cruise.... Very nice scenery can be seen during the Pearl River Cruise

The Hall is so beutiful as the structure of the building is so beautiful and the garden is well maintained...There is a temple nearby the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall which is called San Yuan Gong..After visiting those tourist place, we went to the second round of shopping and lunch in Beijing Lu Pedestrian Street.

This is my last day in GZ ... so fast...aiz....We went to Matrys Park ther to have a look. That place is the place for the people to remember those warriors who sacrifice themselve for their country...There is a big cemetary there and a big memorial ground... Surrounding there is a hige garden where those senior folks come ther to exercise and spend their time with their friend....It so fun to see them enjoying themselve with their friend....Then we went to Tianhe Square..on the roadside there is a small stall selling tau fu fa...wow...this is the best tau fu fa..cant find in m'sia...the bean taste so good...i can eat without putting any sugar..haha...The Tianhe Square is just like another Mid valley but trust me..if u want to buy branded goods, dont buy in China, Malaysia is cheaper...haha..in the Tianhe Square ... ther is a Jusco Supermarket there... we bought 7 box of Fresh Dates, 3 Box of Fresh Shan Ja, beer and some snacks .... Advise people who going there to brina a recycle bag along as ther are no plastic bag provided unless u buy from them...haha...lucky everyone of us brought a recycle bag..so smart ..hehe.. Then we went back to hotel to put back our things because those fruits is quite heavy.....We had a rest a while then we go to a place where is full of Chinese Herbs Wholesale Market... Qing Ping Market....My mum bought some Fa kau, Gon Yu qu , Dong Guai and Gei Ji ... the price is much more cheaper than M'sia...haha...This is the first time i expose to so many chinese herbs...i saw dried sea horse, Abalone , Ling Zhi and many more....the whole street is selling almost the same thing...wondering how they can do business with so many of competitors..ahah......After dinner in our hotel nearby... we back to the hotel to pack our lugage as our flight is on early in the morning...we need to reach the Baiyun Airport before 8AM..arghhh....
22th Oct
Today is my travelling day...wake up as early as 530AM... we get a taxi in front our hotel to airport... We are quite worry on our lugage weight as Air Asia only limit 15KG lugage...but fortunately all of us are below the limit...haha...the airport is crowded with people even early in the morning...when we want to cross the China Custom....walao...they are very strict...we need to take off our shoe and jacket for them to screen and they will screen our whole body...haha...Then we went to the boarding hall to wait for boarding.... The boarding time delay for one hour...but too bad no one announce and inform us...some people already start to queue.. they stand there for more than an hour..but we all still sitting on the departure hall...to me.. we already assigned seats..what for we ned to rush to go in the plane..haha...When all of us boarded the plane...the plane started to move...but later it stop again...everyone is curious why the plane still not yet fly off and then the pilot announce that there is a leakage of oil in the right side of the engine...OMG!!! i think everyone inside the plane is very worry ...lucky the ground engineer found out the problem before the plane fy off..or not we need to force landing ....aiz....The plane delay its departure time for 2 hours...haha...we are wondering whether we are entitle for the RM 200 On Time Guarantee E- Voucher..but what i want is a safe journey back to malaysia only...reli scary when the plane started to fly off..haha....Around 4 hours flight..the plane touch down LCCT safely..phew..thank god....When i reach my house..the time is already 6PM...whole day travelling...so tiring...
One day later, we receive an email stated that we entitle for the e-voucher..haha...maybe we have another trip again....haha..let my parent to decide..muahahha.....
Overall...many people comment that China is not a safe place, dirty bla bla bla...but to me... China improved alot compare to 10 years ago...I think China is more safer than M'sia as they assigned a policeman in every street..and there are no motorcycle is allowed...therefore no snatch thief...So far i never went to a dirty toilet during this GZ tour..all the toilet is well maintained...but only i experience one time a lady did not close the door when doing "business" inside the toilet..aiz...The Food ther is realy delicious...The pork taste different compare to m'sia...The Smelly Toufu is so tasty and is not as stink as M'sia one..I went to have a look on the price of rice...really very very cheap....the chinese government had subsidised the price of the rice to ensire everyone are afford to consume rice..haha...The people ther is quite friendly but i do also find some which is quite unfriendly...The people there is very hardworking...not like us..we are too pampered !! The Transportation system in GZ is fantastic....most of the tourist place can be reach through Metro...and the price is reasonable...The frequency of the train is High...Every 2 minutes will get one train, and their train is very long...better than our malaysia train system...
About Air Asia...So far i found no problem..the plane is accepptable...the seat is quite similar to another airline...The main difference is we need to walk some distance to the airplane..not like other airline where the plane park nearby the departure hall, we just walk in the plane....The food in Air Asia is acceptable but other airline is definitely better... The Airline crew ia quite friendly...Quite good experience taking AirAsia...I dunno why someone give a bad comment for AirAsia...For people who seeking for a budget airline...can consider Air Asia...haha
After coming back to homeground...i received a good news from the government on the next day...haha...Our PM say PTPTN will be convert to scholarship if graduated in first class degree starting 2010...haha...i hope this policy will stay until i graduate on 2011....muahahhaa.... =P
